Kristof may have been to many places, but his roots are here. He grew up on a small sheep and cherry farm in Yamhilll County. He graduated from Yamhill Carlton High School as class president and then moved on to do his undergrad at Portland State (where both of his parents were professors), then Harvard, then Oxford.

We’ll talk to Kristof about his global travels, international human rights, the future of journalism, and the Middle East. But we’ll also find out how he reflects on his home, now that he’s traveled — literally and metaphorically — so far from it.
